Biography
Beatrice was born in 1890. She is the daughter of Charles Burns and Beatrice Moore.
18 Jan 1914 - Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Fowler Smith are giving up their station, Munni (eleven miles from Dungog) to their elder son, Grafton, who married Miss Marjorie Burns last Wednesday. With the rest of their family (two daughters and a son), they intend to live at Strathfleld, first spending a few months at Manly.
Miss Lulu Burns and her sister Marjorie (now Mrs. Grafton Fowler Smith) have not long re turned from a two years' tour of England and the Continent. Soon after their return, Miss Burns met her future husband, and after a three months' engagement they were married.[1]
It appears she had a daughter in 1930.[2] There also appears to be an older daughter, Austrelle, who was a debutante at a ball attended by the Governor general with her cousins Iris Burns, Lulu (Noel) Lowe and Adele Abbott in August 1936.[3]
In 1936, she was elected unopposed as a delegate to the United Australia Party Convention.[4] She passed away in 1976. [5]
